Ahn Jung-Hwan (born January 27, 1976 in Paju, Gyeonggi) is a South Korean football player; he made world headlines by scoring the winning golden goal for Korea against Italy in the 2002 World Cup 2nd round and sending Korea into the quarterfinals.

At the time Ahn was playing for Italian league side Perugia but had his contract terminated for eliminating the Italians from the competition. Ahn attempted to get himself a new European club but failed, and returned to the J-League with Yokohama F. Marinos.

Prior to moving to Europe, Ahn previously played in the K-League with Busan I'cons.
